This fund supports cancer patients in need of transportation and lodging assistance, nutrition during treatment, and other medical-related needs.

The Cancer Center at Lake Charles Memorial Health System is the largest cancer center in southwest Louisiana accredited by the Commission of Cancer. The medical team at Lake Charles Memorial help people with cancer understand the possibilities, the disease, the treatment options and the recovery all while finding support options for patients - close to home. The Foundation is an integral part of aiding in the treatment and recovery process for our patients.

The Cancer Fund provides cancer patients with care bags and radiology robes, supplies for cancer prevention, and educational activities such as free cancer screening events (i.e., colon, skin, breast, and lung cancer). It supports cancer patient peer-to-peer support events like the annual National Cancer Survivors Day Celebration, Camp Bluebird, the area’s only camp for adults with cancer, and the new Get Pampered, Feel Pretty (skin and hair care) quarterly classes for cancer patients. Additional initiatives includes:

• Gas cards and Lyft rides for transportation needs
• Lodging assistance for out of town patients
• Wig vouchers
• Cancer care bags for oncology patients
• Food vouchers
• Nutrition supplements
• Help in securing and purchasing custom prosthetics
